Ignition Switch Removal

[ryuujin]

GREAT! Many thanks to ARModen. That makes things a whole easier. I now have the confidence to tackle this job. I know its only a simple repalcement but the thought of 'mucking around' with my prize possession was a little daunting - but now, it;s no trouble at all. I'm constanly amazed at the level of assistance and advice that is freely given and shared on this forum - lets keep it up!

thanks to all

One thing, make sure you have a very short screw driver. I did this job the other day and the hardest part definitely was the set screws on the sides of the switch. Also the audi part from Pelican may not be a 1 for 1 swap.

Got my new switch and will install sometime when I get around to it. Can anyone tell me how long the screwdriver needs to be? I don't want to cut it too short. To lazy to rip the car apart to find out. I park outside under a car cover and it is cold and wet here.

I did mine this summer on an 02 base and followed Pedro's instructions. the small screw driver should be about 3" or so, that's what mine was and it took me about 45 minutes, but I went slow and checked instructions many times. Now that I've done it, I could do it in about 20 minutes. It's nice when we share. Good luck.
